Skillet Chicken Nachos



I was talking to my brother one night and he told me that his wife (Natalie) makes these skillet Chicken Nachos the eat often.  I immediately knew I had to try them and went out the next day to buy the ingredients.  They were definitely right up my alley and so easy to whip up!  It is a pretty healthy mixture and hits the spot when you are craving some possibly not so healthy nachos.  I made it again a couple weeks later on a Friday night when I just wanted to have a big plate of nachos and watch a movie on a Friday night.  Thanks Dan & Natalie - this recipe is definitely a keeper!

  2. As a meal probably 2-4 people (depending on how hungry they are). As a snack maybe 6-8?

  3. Perfect, thank you! And think it'd be okay kept in a crock pot to stay warm if I made ahead?

  4. So sorry I didn't see this in time, but I'm sure it would be fine to keep it warm in the crock pot. How did it turn out?
